the weekend

Even though he turned his back on his family years ago, Luc gives in to his fiancé Nikiya who wants to meet her soon to be in-laws. The meeting quickly brings back Luc’s reluctance. The Nigerian horror thriller by Daniel Oriahi plays with our innermost fears and expectations in an abysmally nasty way. The prescribed family celebration develops a dynamic that can only end in a bang.

Fear Fact

»The struggle to show HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES at the festival lasted about two years. The film was considered to be non-marketable due to its brutality. Today, that would be a part of its marketing campaign.«
